Proposals for the Redevelopment and Disposal of the former Knutton Recreation Centre

The report will seek Members’ views on the way forward for the redevelopment of the Knutton Recreation Centre and adjoining land.

In June 2011 and subsequently in October 2011, following Scrutiny review, the Cabinet approved the disposal of the Knutton Recreation Centre as part of the planned programme to develop the Jubilee 2 new Health and Wellbeing Centre. At this time it was agreed that the existing ‘3G’ football pitch should be retained and that the bowling green should be retained or relocated.

It is appropriate that Members review the development and investment options for sites in Borough and County Council ownership in the centre of Knutton Village with a view to its regeneration, the options for public engagement and the potential for asset realisation.
